From above-
Q: Does the book have to be a romance?
A: No, but it does have to be a novel. Textbooks will not count. Biographies and autobiographies are OK

No problem! You’re very welcome :)
We must have responded at the same time, I didn’t see your answer!

Happy reading!

CHAN!! *smacks hand* Bad puppy!! LOL!
Jane (PS) wrote: "Chan wrote: "Jane (PS) wrote: "Bad puppy!! !"..."
Soo...is that the new theme? Books with a puppy or pet?
HEHEHEHE
LOL. Ouch! {rubs hand}Gosh, Jane. I was only trying to help...kinda...sorta...maybe...okay, I was trying to trick her :o)
Any chance we can convince you to call the theme on Thursday or at least early Friday? Please? Waiting so long is cruel and unusual punishment (at least for me).
I may surprise you on a Friday or two....and call it before I go to work in the morning :)

Fran wrote: "I may surprise you on a Friday or two....and call it before I go to work in the morning :)"Where are you in the US Fran (timezone) so I can try and figure out time difference from UK?
I am in NY....so EDT until Nov 4, then EST
Right now London is 5 hours ahead of me :)
Fran wrote: "Right now London is 5 hours ahead of me :)"Thanks Fran yes nearly midnight here I’m just heading to bed. If you post before work Friday then I should check early afternoon. 😀 x
Is anyone in the path of the hurricane that is due to hit the Carolinas on Friday morning? Lots of power outages expected. If it looks like the storm will hit on Friday, I may call the theme tomorrow night (Thursday).
Yes. Thursday morning is a great idea, Fran. I second that motion :o)
Thursday night EDT.....let’s see how the weather goes.
LOL I was just kidding, Fran. I work diligently every PtP to trick Jane.
Chan wrote: "LOL I was just kidding, Fran. I work diligently every PtP to trick Jane."Good try Chan!! LOL, maybe I will surprise you one of these weeks ;)
Fran wrote: "Is anyone in the path of the hurricane that is due to hit the Carolinas on Friday morning? Lots of power outages expected. If it looks like the storm will hit on Friday, I may call the theme tomorr..."Not directly (I'm close to the South Carolina border, but still in Georgia), but we're preparing some bad storms Friday afternoon and through Saturday. So a slightly early call so I can make sure my pick is loaded would be nice :)
Stay safe everyone, esp if you are in sight of the hurricane!!
Oh. I thought i saw post about trying to change to Wednesday calls so people could line up their book from library if need be.. Lol

Fran wrote: "Hi LaurLa!You can still change it. Rules apply to Friday at 6 pm EDT even if there are early calls :)"
That's what I was hoping for!!! Thanks!
Question:Would I be able to do Option 2 ~ same series read for
if a teammate read
?I am concerned if the books would be considered same series "Signs of Love"
Thanks
Hi Ezi,I’m sorry, but Seek won’t work for Archer’s Voice. It’s a stand-alone with a small tie-in at the end. There are actually no books listed as part of a Signs of Love series. They appear to be stand-alones in the same Signs of Love universe, but not listed as a series.

Thanks Fran
Not knowing the next theme is making it difficult to choose books for Meet and Greet. Any chance you'll call it early?
No plans for an early call this week.....I’m sorry Mary-Megan :(
Week 3Option 1
7. Read a book tagged with 'magic' (does not have to be a main page genre)
Option 2
Key date: 21 March 2018
Please ensure you follow the format shown in msg 3 of your team threads. when you post your selection and completion posts.
I've got family in from out of town, so you get a call a few hours early :)You still have until 6 pm EDT to post your Week 2 book.
Fran - can you take a look at Caption Cooks thread? Hazel has a question about an anthology book (2 books of a series together) but it's not tagged as magic but the 2 individual books are.
She can use it- thanks for the heads up LaurLa!
Fran wrote: "She can use it- thanks for the heads up LaurLa!"Thanks Fran just wanted to double check. 😀
Does the shelf need to be just magic, or does fantasy>magic count?
Becky wrote: "Does the shelf need to be just magic, or does fantasy>magic count?"fantasy>magic works

Great, thank you!
I'm on my 3 rd book. I'm reading that one now but having gotten around too the first too. Is it okay to read this one first and then those?

Great. I literally could not find a book that I was interested reading that followed options 1 or 2 that I could get from my school library.
